Some people find 40mg way too high for them and find settling at 20mg suits them better. How long have you been on them?
Yes you must withdraw from these slowly ....... and that means over many, many months. Too quick and it'll make you quite ill. You're specialist should help guide you. I spent a year coming off 20mg (my choice this long) and did it by 5mg at a time spending around 1-2 months on each reduction. That way I had no withdrawal.
These meds are good and a high dose doesn't mean you'll get better any quicker than a lower dose.

However I can not understand your pain on this medication, only a gippy tummy may be a problem, depending on your dose of medication.
You may be given assistance and help in withdrawal of drug, or your GP may keep an eye on you on a regular basis. You never know as you come off the drug you may find a reduced dose may help your condition. Watch this space

Your post has been answered although reading through I would strongly advise taking katecogs advice.
There is nothing better than experience and freely shared.
All the Best,
David
